Student Profile: B. Ofenbach

I agree that you've found the person who signed the album--and that we don't know yet what her name actually was! It might have been any combination of those first and middle names, or different combinations depending on the language in which she was writing. Excellent work. Remember to look for all the various spellings in the next stages.

I believe the mother of Blima/Bluma Ofenbach was Sura Ofenbach (Frenkiel) b. 20/08/1899. She lived at Zimmer 33 2 with Blima/Bluma and Chaim Icek Ofenbach (Sibling/Cousin of Blima/Bluma) born 03/10/1927. They moved to Alexanderhof 35.

Could "Ost 17 ABG 13.1.44" be a deportment date? Or maybe a move within the ghetto. On 12/01/1944 a number of people were sent to Auschwitz. Maybe Blima/Bluma was deported to Auschwitz?

Agreed on all counts.

There's a note on the record for Bluma Lipka Offenbach that reads Ost 17 ABG 13.1.44. I read that note to mean that she moved to Ost 17 (17 Oststrasse or East Street), since the note says ABG (abgegangen)rather than AUSG (ausgegangen), moving within the ghetto, not being deported. An interesting note on the Auschwitz deportation, though--maybe her move in the ghetto and the deportation are connected?
